Despite the acerbic title, Look at the Funny Lady will be an act of feminist defiance, blending sassiness and satire to illustrate the gender inequality that pervades comedy theatre. “Men seem to be getting all the best jokes,” said director Cheyney Caddy, “and I’m never happy with being the Robin when I could be Batman.”
To combat this discrimination, Look at the Funny Lady will use an all-female cast of young and emerging actors, elevating them from a object of comical patronisation to a teller of jokes (the good kind).
